一、關于印度理工學院孟買分校

Established in 1958, the second of its kind, IIT Bombay was the first to be set up with foreign assistance. The funds from UNESCO came as Roubles from the then Soviet Union. In 1961 Parliament decreed the IITs as ‘Institutes of National Importance'. Since then, IITB has grown from strength to strength to emerge as one of the top technical universities in the world. The institute is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of engineering education and research. Reputed for the outstanding calibre of students graduating from its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, the institute attracts the best students from the country for its bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes. Research and academic programmes at IIT Bombay are driven by an outstanding faculty, many of whom are reputed for their research contributions internationally. IIT Bombay also builds links with peer universities and institutes, both at the national and the international levels, to enhance research and enrich its educational programmes. The alumni have distinguished themselves through their achievements in and contributions to industry, academics, research, business, government and social domains.

二、印度理工學院孟買分校的歷史

A high-powered committee of the Government of India, headed by Sir Nalini Ranjan Sarkar, a businessman, educationist, industrialist and public figure, recommended in 1946 the establishment of four higher institutes of technology on the lines of their counterparts in Europe and the United States to set the direction for the development of technical education in the country. The committee had recommended the establishment of institutes of national importance in different regions of India. The first of the IITs was set up in Kharagpur (whose other claim to fame is that it has the longest railway platform in the world) in the state of West Bengal in 1950 at a site in Hijli village which used to be a detention camp. Four more IITs followed in quick succession. IIT Bombay was established in 1958, followed by those at Madras (1959), Kanpur (1959) and Delhi (1961). Though the names of the cities Bombay and Madras were later changed, respectively, to Mumbai and Chennai, the institutes at these two places retain their original names. So our institute is IIT Bombay, often shortened to IITB.

These institutes were designed to provide the necessary dynamism and flexibility of organisation in the light of the expanding knowledge and changing socio-economic requirements of modern society. Planning for the institute at Mumbai began in 1957 and the first batch of 100 students was admitted in 1958. The institute campus at Powai extends over 200 hectares and is situated in picturesque surroundings with the Vihar and the Powai lakes on either side and green hills in and around. In 1961, by an Act of Parliament, the institute was declared an institution of national importance and was accorded the status of a university with the power to award its own degrees and diplomas. IIT Bombay was established with the cooperation and participation of the UNESCO, utilising the contribution of the government of the then USSR. The institute received substantial assistance in the form of equipment and expert services from the USSR through the UNESCO from 1956 to 1973. It received 59 experts and 14 technicians from several reputed institutions in the USSR. The UNESCO also offered fellowships, numbering 27, for training Indian faculty members in the USSR. Under the bilateral agreement of 1965, the Government of USSR provided additional assistance to supplement the Aid Programme already received by the institute through UNESCO.

1946年，納里尼藍金薩卡領導的印度政府高級委員會主張在印度建立四所與歐美國家理工學院類似的理工類高等教育機構，借以為印度的理工教育指明方向。納里尼藍金薩卡當時有多種身份，他及時商人、實業家，又是教育家和公共人物。委員會主張在印度不同地區建立國家級教育機構。在這個主張下，個成立的理工學院位于孟加拉邦的克勒格布爾，成立于1950年。具體地點在一個叫Hijli的村莊，村莊過去曾是拘留營。(克勒格布爾分校另一個著名的地方是它擁有世界最長的鐵路站臺。)在印度理工學院克勒格布爾分校之后，又迅速成立了四個同類學院。印度理工學院孟買分校成立于1958年，緊隨其后的是馬德拉斯分校(1959)、坎普爾分校(1959)和德里分校(1961)。雖然孟買和馬德拉斯后來經過了更名，分別從Bombay和 Madras 改為 Mumbai 和Chennai(金奈)——前者漢譯不變，但是這兩個分校都保留了原來的名字。因此印度理工學院孟買分校經常縮寫為IITB。

按照政府規定，這些理工學院旨在根據增加知識和改變現代社會的社會經濟的要求，提供有活力而且靈活的組織機構。孟買分校的計劃從1957年開始。首次招生是在1958年，招了一百名學生。博維分校占地二百公頃，坐落在風景優美的環境中，威哈湖和博維湖位于其兩側，又有青山環繞。1961年，根據議會法案，印度理工學院被宣布為國家級機構，升格為大學，獲得了授予學位和文憑的權力。印度理工學院孟買分校在聯合國教科文組織的合作和參與下成立，并利用了當時的蘇維埃社會主義共和國聯盟的援助。1956年到1973年間，印度理工學院孟買分校通過聯合國教科文組織，獲得了蘇維埃提供的大量設備和專家支持。59位專家和14名技術人員被從蘇維埃著名學府派到孟買分校。此外，聯合國教科文組織還提供了27個獎學金，用以培訓在蘇維埃的印度教職人員。在1965年的雙邊協議下，蘇維埃提供了額外援助，豐富了已經從聯合國教科文組織獲得支持的援助項目。
